I stumbled out to the coop while the coffee was brewing this morning to let the birds out. They fluttered out into the woods and I started back to the house. About halfway down the path, I realized that I should check for eggs and padded back to the coop.

Top nesting boxes....nothing.

Bottom nesting boxes....wait, did I really see that? It's not a golf ball.

My egg is the pretty little brown one. The white is a large egg from my last supermarket dozen. Chicken experts say that the eggs will get larger over the first year.

And here's Trevor checking it out. I have no idea which bird gave me the egg. It's either my 19 week Barred Rocks or Red Sex Linked.

That sure is a beautiful egg. My mother and grandmother used to boil eggs in onion skins to obtain that rich brown color at Easter time. The "onion skin" eggs were always prettier than the ones we dyed with those dye tablets from the store. Thanks for that memory. I can't wait to see the blue ones!!!

Kristin, like Betty Ann, I loved the sic him on a chicken (er progressive) viedo! Who was that Chicken the Detroit Tigers had in hte 70's? And whatever happened to Chicken Man...he's everywhere...he's everywhere.. (bok bok bok bok!)

Frizz the Attack Chicken Says:

"Where's Barry? Lemme at him."

God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed our only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God. --Thomas Jefferson
